When you think of great hot chocolate, you generally think of New England, the upper Midwest, and other cold weather areas.
Maybe so, but do not overlook Louisiana. Specifically, South Louisiana, where food and drink are taken very seriously.
In fact, my very favorite hot chocolate recipe belongs to a university administrator, wife, and mother who grew up in Abbeville, where nearly everyone is an accomplished cook, even the men. Here is Amanda's recipe.
Start with 10 cups of dry powdered milk.
Combine it with two and a half cups of Coffee-Mate.
Mix in 18 ounces of Nestle's cocoa mix.
Lastly, pour in 1 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir all the ingredients until they are combined uniformly.
Amanda recommends that you try a cup of the cocoa (two heaping teaspoons in a cup of hot water), and add more of any ingredient you think it needs. I like the recipe as is, but I am hooked on chocolate, so I always add a little more cocoa.
